File sharing has got a new avatar with the peer to peer model. Every day millions of people go online to share files, be it an audio, application, documents or video file. It has been known that file sharing involves exchange of files from one computer to another through e-mail or any other means. But the size of the files shared is limited.
Ares Vista P2P is clearly the advancement of the Information Technology which has its own downsides. The following are the downsides of P2P file sharing:
In P2P file sharing, multiple sources plays the scene so it is tough to ensure the integrity of the files shared. Moreover the sources are dispersed which makes it much harder to ensure the integrity.
1.Some P2P file sharing applications have considerable vulnerabilities which almost all users neglect. This may pose threat to the personal information like the banking information, tax information, personal information stored in the peer computer.
2.These days hackers have targeted the world’s largest networks to spread the worms, malwares and hack computers. The largest network is nothing than the P2P file sharing network like the LimeWire, Ares etc.
3.So the users of a network have to be cautious while using the p2p applications. They are best advised not to place sensitive files in the network-shared folders or directories, as this may lead peers to get access to such files without your knowledge.
4.Some p2p network’s users flood the bandwidth with music files and movies shares. Oh yes illegally.
5.Since its invention, the P2P file sharing is in the bad world of controversy. Though peer to peer file sharing has its own advantages, those advantages are now being overshadowed by the controversy surrounding it.
6.The educational industry especially the colleges and Universities are found to use the P2P model of file sharing for illegal transfer of copyrighted files. Even the recording and motion picture industries have been found guilty in this regard. On the other hand, some universities have sought to ban the P2P model altogether.
7.It’s high time for us to discover any technique for using the peer to peer file sharing model to serve the teaching, research, colleges and universities.
8.Mostly, students are the victims for many copyright infringement litigations. So Legislation on higher education like universities has stressed the strict enforcement of copyright.
